In a perfect world, anyone would learn to program for themselves before they pick up a kettlebell. When utilizing public programs or workouts, no matter how great the workout design is, the person who designed it does not know your ability, technique, training frequency, goals, or the answer to many other important variables that make a program effective. Incorrect programming or not understanding the programming and how to adjust it can lead to serious injuries and to top it off is not effective or delivers the results you expect.

This book explains the goals one can work towards, how to program and work toward them, it explains the training methods, and above all, it covers the most common mistakes made in programing for kettlebells. I will cover aspects of programming like angles, load, duration, recovery, reps, rounds, progression, and much more. As with all the Cavemantraining books, the objective is to cover a lot and dig deep but without too many technical terms, and if not possible, then the technical terms are explained in several different ways.

There is no one better at programming for yourself than you. Only you know how you feel, recover, how much effort you put or how much more you can put in. Therefore, once you understand how and why to program, you will reach new levels of strength, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility, power, or any other goal you program for.

There are many ways to program and all are right if they’re right and work for you. This is the Cavemantraining way to program.

My name is Taco Fleur, and I'm a Russian Girevoy Sport Institute Kettlebell Coach, IKFF Certified Kettlebell Trainer, Kettlebell Level 1 + 2 Trainer, Kettlebell Science and Application, HardstyleFit Kettlebell Level 1 Instructor, CrossFit Level 1 Trainer, CrossFit Judges Certificate, CrossFit Programming Certificate, MMA Conditioning Level 1, MMA Fitness Level 1 + 2, Punchfit Trainer and Plyometrics Trainer Certified, with a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Owner of Cavemantraining, author of over 10 kettlebell books, courses, and certifications. Author on BoxRox and featured in 4 issues of the Iron Man magazine. I have owned and set-up 3 functional kettlebell gyms in Australia and Vietnam, and lived in the Netherlands, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand. I’m currently living in Italy where we will spend some time and then move on to Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, and so on. If you’re going to be in Italy La Spezia area this year come and look me up for a workout!

The first thing I'd like you to know about me is that I do not know everything, I don't pretend to know everything, and I never will. I'm on a path of life-long learning. I believe there is always something to learn from someone, no matter who they are. I've been physically active since the day I arrived on this earth in 1973. I got serious about training in 1999, touched a kettlebell for the first time in 2004, and got serious about kettlebell training in 2009. I'm here to do what I love most, and that is to share my knowledge with the world.

Some of my personal bests are 400 burpees performed within one hour; 500 kettlebell snatches, 500 swings, and 500 double-unders completed in one session; 250 alternating dead clean and presses in one session with 20kg; 200 pull-ups in one session; 200 unbroken kettlebell swings with a 28kg; most kettlebell swings completed in one session with a 28kg (1,501); most total kettlebell swings done in 28 days with a 28kg (11,111); windmill with a 40kg kettlebell; lugged a kettlebell up a 3,479m mountain; 160kg dead lift; 100 snatches on sand with a 24kg kettlebell; 85kg Olympic Squat Snatch; 300 unbroken clean and jerk with 20kg kettlebell; 10 minute unbroken clean and jerk 79 reps with 2 x 16kg kettlebells; 1 hour unbroken clean and jerk with 16kg; 532 unbroken snatches and achieved rank 2 in kettlebell sport. I mention these PBs not to boast but to demonstrate that I have a good understanding of technique and movement across different areas.

My own training and goals are geared around GPP (General Physical Preparedness) which involves kettlebell training, calisthenics, and CrossFit. I like high-volume reps but also like greasing the groove now and again. My main goals are to remains as agile as possible, remaining mobile, training in as many planes of movements as possible, and learning as many different exercise combinations and movements as possible while having fun and enjoying Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. I'm no Arnold Schwarzenegger and never will be, but strength is not solely defined by physical appearance and huge bulging muscles.

You can read more about my training, philosophy, and other ramblings on our website, www.cavemantraining.com, and YouTube channel, YouTube.com/Cavemantraining, which as of this writing has over 40,500 subscribers and more than 7 million views.

I’m available for workshops and certifications in Europe, and our Caveman Master Trainer Jean-Robert Rioux is available in Canada, and Michael Ajibulu in England.
